Warning: This information is intended for Extreme Whitetail Deer Hunting Enthusiasts!

Dear Fellow Deer Hunting Enthusiast,

Back in the late 90s, I became dissatisfied with every deer hunting magazine that I was subscribing to at the time. I saw three major problems. The first was that the editorial content was mostly about professional hunters, celebrity hunters or the magazines staff of field editors, NOT real life hunters like you and me. The second problem was a lack of practical, real-world, high value information. The third problem was that if you were a really enthusiastic, high energy, extremely dedicated deer hunter, no one provided content that stimulated your obsession for whitetail deer.

In contrast, I knew the most captivating hunting stories would come from the enthusiastic hunters for whom deer hunting was more of a highly anticipated annual adventure and less of a weekly business trip. When I read a deer-hunting story I want to feel like I'm actually along on the hunt! The problem was that no one was publishing these great homespun hunting tales in a full sized, full color, high quality journal. Additionally, I knew that deer hunting enthusiasts wanted to read practical "how to" information that they could identify with, trust and use on their next trip to the field. Lastly, I wanted to create a cultural attraction where enthusiastic, extreme whitetail deer hunters could feel at home.

Hence, I made a commitment to redefine the standard for which all deer hunting organizations would be measured against! The concept was simple; create a home for whitetail fanatics!

Before I sold one subscription, pursued a single advertising client or printed a single magazine, I attended numerous hunting expos and conducted thousands of personal interviews with real deer hunters throughout North America. I asked people to provide input on a format for the perfect whitetail deer-hunting magazine, website and TV show.
In 2000, armed with this enlightening information I formed a company called Fanatic Enterprises Inc. From these humble beginnings The Whitetail Fanatic trademark was created. Since then, Whitetail Fanatic has established itself as North America's leading new organization specifically designed for deer hunting enthusiasts.

The Whitetail Fanatic magazine, website (and soon our TV show - Whitetail Fanatic Magazine - LIVE) have become the definitive source that hunters turn to for information about deer hunting, deer hunting products, deer management and the people who enjoy the deer hunting lifestyle 24/7/365.

I promise you that Whitetail Fanatic will stimulate your whitetail enthusiasm; you have my word on it!

Respectfully,
Thomas R. Fassbinder
